Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"It is a very stable solution."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"It's simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
